Hi,
Thought I'd post a quick update on my cukes in the Wonder Soil. I just took the photos today (the 19th) - 15 days after transplant. As you can see they're doing really well and starting to flower. They were rapidly outgrowing their growing space so I had to enlarge it some. I'll be trellising the cukes when they're tall enough and will probably have to add some more lights eventually.
I started some tomato seeds in the Wonder Soil on the 14th. I'm doing 3 different rootstocks and 3 different regular tomato varieties to get an idea of their differing growth rates so I'll have a better idea of when to start seeds for my spring garden tomato grafting. All 3 of the rootstock varieties (LA1777, Estamino, and RST-04-105-T) were up in 4 days. Of the regular varieties, Eva Purple Ball germinated in 3 days, Santa Clara Canner in 4, and Bush Early Girl (old seed) has yet to surface.
Of the photos:
First is of the new, expanded "cucumber habitat." second is an overall view of just the plants in their bin, and the last photo is a close-up showing some flowers coming along.
